On #valentinesday let’s demystify that spouses entering UK 🇬🇧are a drain on public funds. We pay £3105 to NHS and cannot claim a single benefit. #haveaheart and think of children growing up without a parent. Sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6526…

To practice my markdown/html skills, I've published a brief intro tutorial on my new website for using bash command-line interfaces to analyse amplicon sequence data

Will use the new website to dump my code and side projects, so if you're interested in that stuff - stay tuned!

I recently had the pleasure of helping to organise and run this year's Edinburgh Napier University's SAS Postgraduate conference.
The day was a great example of the research on show within the school with fantastic talks from Connan Masson, Alfie along with many others.

Very excited to participate to the postgraduate conference today and see my supervisor Jennifer Dodd 💙💧 present all the amazing work being done at the CCRS. Later, I'll be presenting my poster about #chalkstreams .

Some amazing talks and innovative science around GHGs on show at #FreshwaterDownUnder
From tree methane 'Treethane' to home-made methane/CO2 detectors! Lots of ideas to take home to Scotland Chris Keneally Micha Nebel Naomi S. Wells Dr. Luke Jeffrey Carla López Lloreda

Happy that I had the opportunity to give a talk at #FreshwaterDownUnder
Thanks for all the great comments! Looking forward to dig deeper into the data 👨🏼‍💻 and to establish bonds with the methane guys Chris Keneally Mike Hinchliffe Car.co.uk Carla López Lloreda Erin Hotchkiss Dr. Luke Jeffrey

It was a fantastic opportunity to talk about some of the wlrk we are doing on methane in Scottish stream food webs at #FreshwaterDownUnder . #SFS2023 Scottish Freshwater Group (SFG) SUPER Doctoral Training Partnership Rob Briers Dr Peter J. Gilbert ENU Applied Sciences

Great talk yesterday from Chris Keneally from Australian Freshwater Sciences Society (AFSS) on methane production in a hyper saline system. Changed a lot of my perceptions on methane production! #FreshwaterDownUnder

Great #PhD opportunity here at ENU Applied Sciences looking at #AMR in #rivers , please RT BES Aquatic Ecology (BESAG) findaphd.com/phds/project/q…

Going to the BES conference? Come say hello, gawk at a poster and chat all things freshwater and methane.

Jumping spiders can move each eye independently. The lens itself is fixed on the exoskeleton, but the eye tubes can swivel around internally 👀 The black retina is only visible from the front when the eye is focused ahead!

Even more reasons to love aquatic invertebrates!

Almost all British mayflies have a longer existence than a Prime Minister nowadays!

Yesterday near Glenflesk, Kerry: another roadside bank annihilated with herbicide. In contrast my own place, bursting with wildflowers, pollinators and other life.

We're in the midst of a global mass extinction event. Our relentless and suicidal war on nature has to stop.

Thoroughly enjoyed the chance to present at Royal Zoological Society of Scotland for the #NapierSASconf last week. It was great experience to see the research coming out of ENU Applied Sciences in person and not a Teams meeting for a change.

Delighted to share my first #marine #stressor lead-author paper from my #PhD 🎉🎊🥳

Who knew #sound could alter #metal toxicity? 🔊☣️🦐
